[Preki-USA]

you are both sporting similar line ups so this game would be a tough battle, phat's attack is better than james' here imo, kaka owen and ibrahimovic would be tough to stop but puyol and nesta would probably be up to it, just as phat's back line could shut out rooney henry and torres,

james wins it in the midfield here as Nolan is a weak link for Michael

[martin_cranie]

A very close game.

The defences both look strong, but James's line is that little bit stronger. Nesta may not be on top form, but I still think that he can be trusted above Andrade, as good as he is. I'm not exactly a huge admirer of Neville, largely because he can't defend to save his life, so I think that's a weakness for Phat.

As Preki said, the midfields are very similar in terms of layout, so it'll be close. Gattusso will chase everything, and that'll cause problems for James. Nolan is a very good player, very dedicated and reads the game well, so I don't think he will be a particular weak point. However Essien is never affraid of making a tackle, and Fabregas and Alonso are both pretty tough, and great passers of the ball. Couple that with Essien's forward runs, and I think James wins the midfield battle.

Up front is very close indeed. Owen is the weakest link of the six guys, as for me he's good for little more than poaching. However that is a valuable skill and he is very good at it. Ibra has great technique and a good eye for goal, and Kaka is a playmaking genius with a decent record in front of goal.

For James Henry and Rooney are incredible, and Torres, although not being tested at higher level club games, is also very promising and deadly. I think that as talented and varied as Phat's forwards are, I see James's forwards as having a little more to offer.

Very close but James takes this for me. 2-1, or maybe 3-2 at a push.

[Ronaldo 9]

Both team have great forwards and midifield, im not too sure about Nolan though and he is your weak link phatmann. I also think that reyes's trio ronney, torres and henry is slightly better than phatmann's and in terms of defence i think reyes also has the better one there. the midfield will decide this match that's why im going for reyes.

[Nedy]

I go for James.....excellent three center midfielders.....and a superb attack......excellent formation James......

[Keyser Soze]

Very close match here, but as the teams are playing similar formations it is easier to match each team, player-to-player. Judging from that, I think Reyes wins this one. Although the score at the moment doesn't reflect how tight the match actually is.

[Highway Penguin]

I'm torn between the two and since the score is ridiculously one sided, I think James is getting the votes cause it's James. :rolleyes: No offense intended James.

Phat gets my vote..

[Yossi]

This game is very tight, and after checking the votes I have to vote Phat as I think it's ridiculous that he's losing by such a distance. The attacking trio of each side is roughly equal, maybe Reyes shades it, but I feel that Phat's defence is stronger overall, just. Reyes has a slightly better midfield, however I'm voting Phat for the reasons stated in the first sentence.

[nikos24]

I think Reyes will take this one. At the end of the day, both have absolutely great striking forces, but the trio that James posseses is almost too strong for any team. But don't get me wrong, Kaka, Ibrahim and Owen are also excellent. I think Reyes would win this one, but I will vote for Phat, he does need some help. It's completely one-sided, just to add some spice into this game. (If my vote will even help)

Ditto.

[Hunter]

Reyes wins this.

However I do think Phat will score a goal or 2. He most certainly has the capabilites with the trio of Kaka, Owen and Ibrahimovic. All great players, Kaka being one of the best in the world, his football brain is excellent and his creativity is superb. Unfortunately for him, Rooney's is too.

Defensively, I would probably have to edge it towards Reyes's team here. His back 4 is slightly more solid than Phats and Reyes's 2 CB's are better I feel.

Reyes 3 - 2 Phat
